FAQPage Schema

How do I track RSS feed updates automatically?▼

Automatic feed discovery extracts RSS and Atom feeds directly from blog homepages without requiring a specific feed URL, and falls back to HTML scraping to extract feed data when standard feeds are unavailable.

Can I import RSS subscriptions from an OPML file?▼

Yes, you can import subscriptions via OPML files to bulk-add blogs and feeds, allowing you to quickly migrate and organize multiple tracked sources into your personal knowledge base.

How do I manage unread articles across multiple blogs?▼

Yes, this tool requires the blogwatcher-cli application to be installed, which supports Go compilation, Docker deployment, or prebuilt binaries, with persistence configured via the BLOGWATCHER_DB environment variable.

What is the best way to automate blog monitoring for a team?▼

Automating blog monitoring for a team involves configuring blogwatcher-cli with persistent storage via BLOGWATCHER_DB, importing feeds through OPML, and running scheduled scans to collect and manage unread articles.

What happens when a blog does not have an RSS or Atom feed?▼

When an RSS or Atom feed is unavailable, the system uses an HTML scraping fallback mechanism to extract feed data and new article updates directly from the blog's webpage structure.
